As we continued to have no Internet access where we were playing during this period, we've resorted to bibliomancy to generate our titles (rather than the usual use of the Wikipedia 'Random Article' link). A lot of these came from a set of encyclopaedia, the rest from quasirandomly chosen books.
The birdsong at the end of track 3 is a nice touch (outside Miriam's conservatory). Track 9 with Adam and Phil was recorded outside around a particularly smoky fire, we were moving around to avoid the smoke, hence the rather diffuse and shifting sound.
